I read a lot. I have 6 books on the go right now, from Greg Bear to Rob Tenple, sci-fi to comedy. But I read three books every year without fail. The Day Of The Triffids, War Of The Worlds and The Christmad Carol. Every year since I was 15. I am now 55. John Wyndham was an incredible author.

Hi all. I don't normally do this sort of thing but, like a lot of the world, the UK is watching what is happening on the streets of the USA with concerned eyes. It's awful what's happening and we feel helpless. But you guys are amazing. Like Jeremy Messersmith. This guy is fantastic.

Why doesn't Trump just say he wants Russia? Russia won't be a threat to America if America owns Russia surely, and it's not like anyone sailed a boat to it, so it's probably free.

I know.. it's not for me, but I am getting more addicted to Love Island UK each year. And is it me, or is Yasmin a Stepford Wife?? She's expressionless, and her delivery of flirty lines just seems like a bad AI talking. It's like Mortitia Adamms' in her 20's. ##loveIslanduk #troubleinparadise

You could go back to the first name for it, The Gulf of St Michael. Take any ownership away, or maybe the native Americans had a name for it...

Watched The Invasion of the Bodysnatchers from 1978. The one with Donald Sutherland and a young Jeff Goldblum. Surprisingly good, solid acting, light on exposition so you get to learn by watching, not listening. Amazing VFX for the time. Solid 8/10. #oldmovies #watch #films #reviews

Classical to Classic Decades. What a great buy. 'Sick squid' for all that! Billy bargain!

The cinematography was great, specifically the alien feeling wasteland vistas set to confuse us. The sfx were impressive for the time. The script works well, but the message of man's inhumanity being his downfall felt a little preachy. Still, seeing Lady Liberty at the end.. still gave me chills!

Gary Noden @genvfx.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

I've started going back and watching old films recently, in an attempt to break me from the constant buzzing in my head from modern cinema. This week, I watched the original Planet of The Apes from 1968. I remember watching this on TV as a child. Against modern cinema, it still holds up. 8/10.

Gary Noden @genvfx.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Distancing is the best way, as eradication is nigh on impossible. Like with Indiana Jones. I will forever try to force the belief that only three films were made. The first 3, in case you weren't sure. And only 2 Jaws films. Again, the first 2.

Gary Noden @genvfx.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Yes, the utter dog mess that was Highlander2 taking a dump on all the mythos and solid work of the first one. In my mind, there can be only one. The first one.

These guys are amazing musically and Lottie is hilarious at their gigs. Especially when she was on painkillers when she bust her leg. If you like orchestral electronic rock with killer beats and floor stomping crowd pleasers, you will love them. I do. #music #thebest #hybridband
